Don't Break the Chain - v1.0b

I say beta because there are a ton of bugs that I've probably missed. If you see anything that you can categorize as a bug, don't be afraid to post it here. That way, we can all check this thread and avoid submitting duplicate issues.

I've gone ahead and added just a few current chains to our database, but I haven't written any "easy" button to automatically add old threads. Please pm @denzil, @Bluprntguy, and @neuro the thread ID and we can add the old DBTC thread to the database. There's no easy way to add everyone that's already gotten a thread, so we'll just add the first/original donor, and you guys can easily populate the rest.

The DBTC is represented as tree at the top of every thread. From there, it should be pretty self explanatory, but to get you started:

To add a brand new DBTC:
Just create a new thread in any of the DBTC forums, and follow the instructions.

To add, edit, or delete people to an existing DBTC:
Simply hover and click on any of the icons that pop up over a person's node/icon in the tree, located in the thread itself.

Any questions besides adding old dbtc threads, please feel free to continue ask them in this thread.

Bug: There should be a column on the left side under the statistics that has thumbnails of all the pictures in the thread. I don't know why it's not showing up. It looks like an old template is being used instead of the new one I created.

For someone like me who never used the original DBTC, it would be helpful to mention that its a section header above the DBTC forum post. I was looking for a link here (assuming is a new site) and then went to a previous DBTC post to find that section

I'm excited to add myself to a new DBTC thread to track the amazing Ricordeas that Roberto passed on to me. I'm looking forward to growing out these critters and sharing more frags/progeny with the club.

I'm glad it's easier to track the history now and make sure folks honor the DBTC plan.

I just tried to update who I gave RBTA to and it show swayd & nlyo4 but when I refreshed the page their icons disappeared, but it show the trans action on the stats corner...I also think I see an error over in that section, but didn't want to confuse it with this error?

Hi @Schmitty, this thread is a couple years old. Members will periodically post a dbtc and if you are ready to take that responsibility, then you can volunteer yourself. As you probably know, a new tank sometimes isn't ready for certain corals, so it's up to you to decide if the coral can thrive in your tank. Good luck and welcome!

Thanks! My tank is new, but the water and some of the live rock are not, I am gonna give it another week of testing etc, but I think she's ready to go... I currently have a clown fish and some corals and anemone and it all seems to be going well. Cheers

Another point to make is that since DBTC is used to backup corals in the event of an untimely death, more often than not, the owner of the DBTC prefers to have their coral pieces going to established tanks where things are known to survive.
